How to Plan a Successful Group Trip

Planning a trip for a large group of people, whether it’s a church group or business outing, can be a daunting task. Everyone has different schedules and preferences which makes choosing the event and time even more difficult. 5 Star Truck Rental has advice to make your trip as smooth as possible.

Appoint a Leader

We all know there can definitely be too many cooks in the kitchen. If everyone in your group is trying to be in charge, decisions won’t be wisely and efficiently made.

Decide on Location

The leader needs to be capable of making choices while taking everyone’s input into consideration. Using a voting system is likely the best option to figure out what the majority of the group would like to do within a given number of choices. It will always be hard to satisfy everyone in the group, so the leader needs to be okay with breaking the news that it may not be everyone’s first choice. Any room for compromise will also be appreciated by the group.

Reserve the Transportation

One of the most difficult aspects of taking a day trip with a large group is getting everyone there together. If you let your group of 15 get separated into four or five vehicles, there’s a good chance that everyone will take different routes. Someone will get lost or make an extra stop and arrive late. The best way to ensure stress-free travel is for everyone to ride together. A 15-passenger van rental is exactly what you need.

In the Los Angeles area, 5 Star Truck Rental makes renting a passenger van as easy as possible to get your group on its way to a fun day. We’ll always go out of our way to do what’s right for the customer and offer affordable rates. Contact us at (818) 697-5675, or request a quote online today!

Plan the Itinerary

Lastly, put together an itinerary for the day that you can give to all attendants of the event. There’s nothing more confusing than having one or two people know what’s going on while everyone else has no expectations for what should be happening next.

Follow these steps, and you’ll be on your way to a successful group trip that’s enjoyable for everyone!
